Stainless Steel Mailbox Custom Fabrication for Building Entrances

t470-10

Stainless steel mailbox custom fabrication means building a mailbox unit sized and shaped to fit your entrance wall, with compartments matched to your apartment count and a finish that suits the lobby. Our factory at 37 Rival Street in Tel Aviv measures on site, drawls the unit, and produces it in stainless steel to match the existing door hardware.

Why building managers choose custom stainless steel mailboxes

Standard mailboxes rarely fit the wall, the number of apartments, or the style of an older lobby. A custom unit is designed around the space you actually have, so the compartments, locks and mounting line up cleanly with the entrance.

Stainless steel resists weather, handling and cleaning products well, which matters in a shared entrance that is touched every day. Building committees also like that a single material can run through the mailboxes, door handles and kick plates for a consistent look.

What we need to know before fabricating

To quote a good fit, we usually ask for a few details first:

The number of apartments and the compartment layout you want
Photos of the existing wall and entrance, with the current hardware visible
Whether the unit is surface-mounted or recessed into the wall
Lock type preferred by residents, such as keyed or code-style

Clear answers here prevent changes later and keep installation simple.

How we measure and draw the unit

After the inquiry, one of our team visits the building to measure the wall, the door opening and the surrounding fittings. Measurements are taken on site rather than estimated from photos alone, because older walls are rarely perfectly straight.

From these measurements we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering dimensions, compartment sizes, the stainless steel grade and the mounting method. You review and approve the drawing before any metal is cut.

Production and finishing in our factory

The unit is cut, formed and assembled in our workshop, where we have worked in metal since 1945. Edges are finished so residents do not get scratched when reaching in for post, and the joints are checked for alignment before the unit leaves the factory.

Where the design calls for it, the stainless steel can be finished to a brushed or polished look so it blends with other entrance metalwork in the building.

Installation and fitting with existing hardware

Installation is planned around the entrance as it is. We check the wall condition, fix the mounting points, and make sure the mailbox doors open fully without catching on the adjacent door frame or handles.

If the building is also replacing door hardware, we can coordinate the mailbox and door fittings so both are delivered and installed in one visit, reducing disruption for residents.

Keeping entrance hardware working over time

Stainless steel needs little upkeep, but a simple routine helps it last. Wipe it with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoid harsh abrasives, and rinse away salt residue in coastal air. Check the locks and hinges once or twice a year and tighten any loose fixings.

If a residents' committee wants a review of the setup or a repair, you can send us photos and we will advise on what can be adjusted.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a mailbox unit that matches our existing door handles?

Yes. We can match the finish and profile of your existing stainless steel door hardware so the entrance looks consistent. Sending photos of the current fittings helps us confirm the match.

Do you measure on site before making the mailbox?

Yes. We visit the building to measure the wall, opening and surrounding fittings, since older walls are often not perfectly straight. We then prepare a drawing for your approval before production starts.

Can the mailboxes be surface-mounted or recessed into the wall?

Both options are possible, depending on the wall construction and how much depth is available. We confirm the mounting method during the site visit and include it in the written specification.

How do we start a custom order?

Send us photos of the entrance and the number of apartments you need to serve, and we will arrange a site measurement. You then receive a drawing and specification to approve before fabrication begins.

Common mistakes to avoid

Building managers often order a mailbox from photos alone and find the unit too deep or too wide for the wall. Measuring the actual opening on site before approving the drawing avoids most of these fitting problems.

Our recommendation

Decide the compartment layout and lock type with the residents' committee before measuring, and confirm the stainless steel finish against the existing lobby hardware. Settling these three points early keeps the order simple and the result consistent.

Summary

Custom stainless steel mailboxes are measured, drawn and approved before fabrication, then produced and installed to fit your entrance. Our Tel Aviv factory handles the whole process from first photo to final fitting.
